Hey guys i'm working on a level about the underworld/hell where you end up fighting a demon of some sort, but i'm having trouble coming up with ideas for the platforming portion of my level. I mean, who wants to play a level where all you do is run? so far in my level, you start with an evil-looking red wall to your back and then you go across a swinging bridge the you come to a checkpoint inside of a tower that is that one stone material that looks like a cave, colored red. Then you go across another swinging bridge to another tower then you go across a draw bridge and walk through a hallway filled with candles then you enter a room with a golden chandeliar at the top of the room and you have to jump on groups of three skulls attached to the walls and ground with invisible pistons, and when you grab the chandaliar, part of the wall dissolves and you can go through (and this is a rather bad description, with all the corner editing and stuff) but I need some Ideas for after that

The best platforms are ones that are simple. All you should have to do in the end is jump across. What makes it impressive is the way the platforms appear. For instance, in my "Platform Incredible" level I created platforms that drop down and spring open when you pull a switch. Others I made shoot from cannon and spring open. Now all you are doing is pressing R1 on a grab switch and jumping across but many people loved this bit and thought it was the best part of my level. So my advice - make some platforms that you simply jump across (maybe add some elevation so you're jumping up & down, too) - but think how they are going to get there. Then make a mechanism (could just be a switch) that gets them there, and you're left with an impressive piece of platforming.

Maybe have some basic platforming, like dragging a crate from Point A to Point B to get over Point C, some ceiling grabbing, basic jumping, or somewhat similar to what the person above me said, have some wooden-mechanical platforms that sink as you jump on them (that way the player has to be quick). Hope that helps!

You should have a huge wheel with spikes that you need to jump over.

maybe have some little creatures to fight and use them to get to platforms and stuff

make a staircase that turns into a slide (like in the movies) then at the bottom have a dissolving floor and so you fall through and meet that demon of some sort of yours!
